In an interview with Mid Day, Mudassar stated that Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is his seventh film. The director revealed that he's never done a film that legitimises infidelity. He also feels misunderstood when he faces such criticism. Mudassar shared that he and Ayushmann have history of doing projects that don't approach gender politics in skewed way.

"In Pati Patni Aur Woh [2019], the husband is faced with the consequences of his actions when his wife and girlfriend join forces," he said. The director further told the tabloid that he created a protagonist in Happy Bhag Jayegi, who chooses her partner. Mudassar mentioned that women in his movies have always had 'agency'. In the same conversation, the Pati Patni Aur Woh Do director admitted it took some time to get Ayushmann on board. Mudassar recalled they did three rounds of narrations. "After the first time, Ayushmann said he wanted to hear it again. Before the third narration was over, he was having so much fun that he said, ‘Let’s do it'," he added. The director concluded by saying that Ayushmann comes with a history of difficult subjects. According to Aziz, the actor is never afraid of complicated emotional space.
